Rural care means fewer options — unless you know where to look
Alpena sits on the Sunrise Side, and many of our older neighbors here want to age in the homes they built. Some adult children try to coordinate care through caregiver-matching apps or hire someone informally to save money. Those paths skip the licensing, supervision, and insurance that protect your parent when the visit gets hard. An untrained hire is one bad day away from a serious problem.
We are built for the long haul. Our Home Help service covers bathing, dressing, meal prep, light cleaning, and medication reminders. We match caregivers by language and cultural background, set flexible hours that fit real family schedules, and add free hours other agencies bill for. Thirty-plus years of work stands behind every shift.
We do this by the book — so you don't have to worry.

Care done right
Care You Can Trust in a County With Few Options
In a county where in-home care options are limited, how care is delivered matters as much as that it's delivered. Every Cottage Home Care caregiver serving Alpena is background-checked and trained to Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) standards. As a Medicaid-certified, CHAMPS-enrolled agency, we handle enrollment, training, and payroll — so a Alpena family can be paid to care for their own loved one without navigating state paperwork alone.
